CTC®: the technology for protection at a higher level!
CITEL, the experts in surge protection, take the protection of your photovoltaic installation to a whole new level!
With the innovative CTC® technology, your PV installation will be protected even more effectively and reliably against damage caused by surges.
The innovative and patented CTC®-Technology (Central Thermal Control) is an entirely new designed disconnection technology.
It is safer, faster, and more compact than previous disconnections. Its cutting-edge technology has been rewarded with numerous patents for CITEL.
It counters the weaknesses of previous disconnection devices primarily through:
- Its thermo-sensitive solo separation point, which is spatially centrally placed in the SPD
- The additional insulating safety barrier integrated into the isolating device for more reliable separation of the poles in the event of separation.
This game-changing technology brings a number of benefits for you:
- Space saving due to more compact design
- Short conductor lengths between MOV and cut-off device
- Fast triggering of the cut-off by cumulative heat impact of all MOVs on one heat point
- Additional insulation barrier for even safer pole separation
- All-pole disconnection in case of tripping
- No risk of varistor short circuits
- Much lower temperature of the SPD envelope during disconnection providing more safety
- For the user or side by side electrical devices
